If folate is so important, then why aren't we all dark skinned?

Biology

This can be answered by asking why do we all have different skin colours: Melanin pigmentation. Years of evolution made different people around the worrld different skin colours as an protective mechanism against high levels of UVR exposure, the closer people were to the eqautor, the hotter it would be, so many people living in tropical and desert like climates had darker skin. To answer about folate though, people are darker skin tones living near the equator had dark skin to prevent folate deficiency. So yes everyone has folate, but some people are darker skin to better protect it and their skin.

Hope this helps, HAVE A BLESSED AND WONDERFUL DAY! As well as a great Superbowl Weekend! :-)

How could the movement of tectonic plates create another supercontinent like Pangaea
Margaret [11]
<span>When the landmasses are again collected together in a specific area

The Pangea theory supports the theory of plate tectonics because it is based on the idea that all the present continents were one super-continent. For reasons still unknown, the super-continent got separated and created separate smaller continents. This theory also supports the fact that this movement will continue until the day arrives when all the smaller continents will again merge in a different configuration to create another super-continent. </span>

(what organelle is this) Passive transport is taking place across this thin cell covering causing the muscle cells to contract.
deff fn [24]

Answer:

This question appears incomplete

Explanation:

This question appears incomplete. However, <u>the cell organelle involved in transportation of molecules in the cell is the </u><u>cell membrane</u>. This cell membrane can be said to be cause of several forms of transportation in and out of the cell - this is because the membrane is a selective barrier. While some substances/molecules move through diffusion by moving with the concentration gradient (as in the case of passive transport, others move against the concentration gradient requiring energy to cause the transportation (as in the case of active transport).
